Fig. 4

Shows age-dependent distribution in the expression profiles of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, NK1R and ADRB2, and CD68 and MPO in the endometria that were collected before pandemic (2019) and during pandemic (2020) period. Among all these investigated markers, a statistically significant difference was found only for TMPRSS expression (*P = 0.028) in endometria of pre-pandemic (2019) women in their ≤ 40 years of age comparing to that in in-pandemic (2020) endometria of women in the similar age groups. An increasing trend in the expression of TMPRSS2 was observed in in-pandemic endometria (2020) than that in pre-pandemic endometria (2019) among cases with higher ages (> 45 years). The boxes represent the interquartile ranges, horizontal lines in the boxes represent median values, and cross (x) marks in the boxes indicates mean values
